Overhead fan and light does not work

2013 3402 overhead fan and light in the living area stopped working as well as the socket between the sofa and dining table and the light fixture.. every other light socket and appliance works fine all fuses in the fuse panel check OK.

What did I miss...

My fan stopped when the chain wrapped around one of the blades while I was traveling.

If the socket not working is in a slide look under the slide for a juction box. Loose wires there are frequent.

The fuses do not have anything to do with the 120 volt ceiling fan, as it is 120 volts. You should check all the 120 volt breakers in the electric panel first. Your rig is just like ours, as the light fixture on the wall of the slide is 120 volts, the only one in the rig, where all the rest of those sconces are 12 volts. It is possible that there is a failed connection somewhere, maybe at the breaker. The issue that you have lost power in the slide and also at the ceiling would tell me that the problem is not at the bottom of the slide. It almost has to be at the breaker in the panel.

problem solved.I do not think as clearly as I once did old age I guess.

I noticed that the hot water tank was not working and the 12 V lights were getting dim I went out and checked the PT50 EMS and saw that one leg was drawing zero amps. I had earlier re calibrated and leveled the Montana and in doing so the power plug loosened and we lost one leg. Tightened the plug and all is well. You were close to right Bob.

The fridge started giving a Lo DC message and I am sure that one of the A/C s was not working and we had not checked if the furnace worked. We had lost leg 2 it just took awhile for that to sink in. We have one of those 90 degree attachments to the power cord to reduce stress and it had come loose at the connection. Normal stuff in the world of RV'ing
